Acceptable engineering experience defined.

(A)
Satisfactory engineering work shall be of
a nature such that its adequate performance requires engineering education,
training, or experience and must be demonstrated through the application of the
mathematical, physical and engineering sciences. Satisfactory engineering
experience shall include but not be limited to, an acceptable combination of
the following types of engineering activities:

(8)
Any other work of
a mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, hydraulic, pneumatic,
geotechnical, or thermal nature that requires engineering education, training
or experience for its adequate performance;

(9)
Teaching experience, to be creditable,
must be in engineering or engineering-related subjects at an advanced level in
a college or university offering an engineering program of four years or more
that is approved by the board.

(10)
Experience gained in engineering
research and design projects by members of an engineering faculty where the
program is approved by the board is creditable.

(B)
Experience shall not be obtained in
violation of the licensure act.

(C)
Experience gained in the armed services,
to be creditable, shall be of a character equivalent to that which would have
been gained in the civilian sector doing similar work. Normally, it would be
expected that the applicant while in the armed services served in an
engineering or engineering-related group.

(D)
Experience shall be gained under the
supervision of a licensed professional engineer or, if not, an explanation
shall be made showing why the experience should be considered acceptable.
Experience gained under the technical supervision of an unlicensed individual
shall be considered if the appropriate credentials of the unlicensed supervisor
are submitted to the board.

(E)
For sales experience to be creditable, it shall be demonstrated that
engineering principles were required and used in gaining the experience.

(F)
Experience in construction, to
be creditable, must demonstrate the application of engineering principles.

(G)
Successful completion of
graduate study leading to the master's degree in engineering which has followed
a baccalaureate degree in engineering from an accredited program may be used
for credit for one year's experience. If the Ph.D. in engineering is completed
under the same conditions, two years total experience may be credited. The two
years credit includes the one year for the master's degree. If the Ph.D. is
obtained without the master's degree, the credit for experience may be two
years. Credit for work experience and for undergraduate or graduate study,
occurring within the same period, shall not exceed the elapsed calendar time
during which this occurs.

(H)
In
the review of engineering experience, the board shall consider whether the
experience was sufficiently complex and diverse, and of an increasing standard
of quality and responsibility and whether the quality of engineering work shows
minimum technical competency.
